I made the mistake of getting sky+ when my tivo went wrong. I now have the
tivo again and i would not trade it for a 100 Sky+.
sky+ is better than nothing. It is not a patch on a Tivo. I got fed up
with failed tec9 recordings, clashes that were not real and series links
that fell off mid series. picture quality on a tivo with 160gig is very
good. but it is illerevent how good the picture quality is when the dam
thing 'forgets' to record a program as my sky+ made a habit of doing.

If you belive this can i interest you in a nice bridge . sited in London
and fully working only 2000. You can send me a cheque. ;-)

ps I use my Sky+ to record the odd 2 channel clash e.g. life on mars and
northern lights
